8286. Jesus Knows Thy Sorrow

1 Jesus knows thy sorrow, knows thine every care;
Knows thy deep contrition, hears thy feeblest prayer;
Do not fear to trust Him— tell Him all thy grief;
Cast on Him thy burden, He will bring relief.

2 Trust the heart of Jesus, thou art precious there;
Surely He would shield thee from the tempter’s snare;
Safely He would lead thee by His own sweet way,
Out into the glory of a brighter day.

3 Jesus knows thy conflict, hears thy burdened sigh;
When thy heart is wounded, hears thy plaintive cry;
He thy soul will strengthen, overcome thy fears;
He will send thee comfort, wipe away thy tears.
